STOVE-DOOR HINGE.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 282,170, dated July 31, 1883.

Application filed March 14, 1882. (ModeL) To allwhomit may concern.- Be it known that we, JAMEs Spring City, in the; county of Chester and State of Pennsylvania, and HARRY 0. MAR- SHALL, of the city and county of Philadelphia,

and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hinges for Stove- Doors, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. I

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 represents a face view of a stoveplate with our improvement in hinges applied to the doors of the stove carried by said plate.

, This figure shows a socket-piece on the lefthinge projections on dust and dirt from hand side, which has two sockets-one above and one below-adapted to receive both pin tles of thedoor. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same on the line :0 w in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a view in perspective, upon a larger scale, of one of the cap or socket pieces used in the construction of the hinge.

It is a matter of no small importance in the construction of stoves that their doors should hang level 'and 'free from binding. To this end it has been customary to employ skilled and expensive labor to drill with truth or in line the necessary holes in the doors, and

tion of the hinge pins or pivots.

The object of this invention is to obtain a perfect and true-or level hang of such doors in a simple and comparatively inexpensive and superior manner.

A indicates the front plate of a cooking or other stove, fitted with doors B O, and with an'additional opening for another door. The door B, which may either be fitted with a hinge pin or pivots, a a, is hung to swing in cap or socket pieces D D, which are constructed to inolose said pivots, and may be nickel-plated or otherwise made to present an ornamental appearance,

Said cap or socket pieces D may also be secured to their passing through them and the stove-plate, and be fastened by nuts 6 on the inside of said plate, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings; or they may be connected and made in one piece, as shown in Fig. 4. This mode of securing the socket pieces D D provides for their ready attachment and detach to accidental socket-pieces and free at a greatly reduced expense.

A socket-piece of a modified formis shown at D Fig. 1, which has in one piece sockets for the two pintles of the door.

, We lay no claim to this form of socket-piece having the two sockets in one piece.

The invention is applicable to different kinds of stoves, heaters, and ranges.
